Sophisticated design that heals the earth
At Root & Branch, we design vibrant, functional outdoor sanctuaries where considered design meets living ecology. Every line we draw and native species we specify is intentional, crafted to elevate your daily living while healing the soil, welcoming wildlife, and leaving the earth better than we found it.

Our Services
Whether you want a full custom design or a second set of expert eyes, we meet you where you are.
A garden that keeps its own rain
Permeable paths, beds set to catch what the roof and driveway shed, and soil built with compost so it takes a winter storm in instead of sending it to the gutter. Living soil then holds that water as a reserve the plants draw on through the dry months.
Planted with California natives and other climate-adapted species, the garden feeds the insects local birds depend on, needs no chemical feeding, and looks better every year as it fills in.
We design this way in seventeen communities across Los Angeles and Orange County, each with its own soil, its own water rules, and its own idea of what a front garden should look like.

I came to this work late and deliberately, after a class about what the climate is doing to California convinced me to learn a skill worth having. I have been studying ever since.

What clients say
From Google and Yelp, in our clients' own words.
Root & Branch Landscapes did a great job designing the landscaping for my home. It was a full residence design of the front and back yard. Christina was very easy to work with. I am very happy with the design outcome, and the communication between us.

Christina is an amazing landscape designer. She listened carefully to what we were looking to do and drew up very detailed and specific plans. She converted our ugly lawn into a beautiful drought tolerant landscape.

Living in Southern California we are spoiled with options for updating our Landscape. My goal was to help my parents completely renovate their yard, the front, side, and back all needed a facelift. We are so happy we came across Root & Branch Landscape.
